Found Deceased TN - Evelyn Boswell, 15 months, Sullivan County, 26 DEC 2019 *MOM ARRESTED* #5

[hdo82]

Absolutely. I find it so annoying how she acts like it should be up to TBI to go get Evelyn whatever they claim she is! Why isn’t she speeding down the highway to go pick up her little girl (before she was jailed)

I am at the point with MB that I was with Casey Anthony... I am waiting for MB to claim sexual abuse as well...

Just saw the news about the deadly tornadoes in Tennessee. I know very little about the geography of the state, but my prayers go out to all of you who live locally, as I don't know if you are affected. Of course I fervently hope the weather doesn't impede the search for Evelyn or endanger anyone involved in that search.

ETA: ugh, I see I double-posted, so I'll use this opportunity to add that after Hurricane Sandy drowned us on Oct. 29, 2012, we didn't have electricity, water, heat or wifi for quite awhile. Plus no cars or phones, and my daughter was due with her second baby two days later. I say this because it's possible some of our WSers in Tennessee might not be able to get on the Internet, so please check in if you can!

Thank you for the kind words. I am grateful to have stumbled upon a forum which encourages honest dialogue and expression of opinions/musings. I know I'm in good company when I say the convoluted mess of data which has been swirling around in my mind over the past two weeks needed to be released. I appreciate WSers willingness to help me work through some of these thoughts.

I don't know what happened to EB but I know, just as all of you do, that MB was involved. Pondering over MB's mindset may provide an opportunity to see something previously overlooked. Or, it may not... but I'd like to try because progress has stalled, the next court date isn't until May and I'd much rather spend that time exploring theories than sitting on pins and needles.

So, circling back, there is another part of this I've been wondering about. Perhaps someone here can offer insight...

MB was living in the trailer belonging to her brother, TBjr. It has been reported that she moved out/was evicted at some point around Oct/Nov (since the new tenant stated they moved in "a few months ago"). Here's my question. Why did she leave? Did she choose to leave? Was she evicted? If she chose to leave...why?

As I understand it, that was around the same time she listed her vehicle for sale (based on the October Marketplace posting date provided by another WSer). Does that vehicle listing indicate some sort of financial trouble (maybe struggling to make the payments)? Surely she didn't list it because of mechanical issues. It was new...ish (MB provided purchase date of Feb 2019) and it had less than 13,000 miles.

If the vehicle listing was due to financial troubles, why would she then choose to move out of a residence owned by her brother? Though her family was dysfunctional, it is difficult for me to believe TBjr would evict his sister and baby niece if MB was unable to pay her rent?

What prompted the move? What am I missing?

My thoughts (and totally jmoo) are that she was gifted the car, got evicted from the trailer, tried to sell the car for cash bc she was cut off? If this was what was going on, makes you wonder if whoever cut her off might feel (unfounded) guilt for what has happened?

Judge rejects bid to reduce Megan Boswell's bond
A slight smile crept across Megan Bowell’s face a couple of times during her nearly 15-minute Monday appearance in General Sessions Court, where a judge rejected her request to reduce bail and scheduled her next hearing in May.

Dressed in a two-tone gray jail jumpsuit and shackled in handcuffs while seated in the witness chair, the mother of missing toddler Evelyn Mae Boswell occasionally gazed around the courtroom — nearly empty except for about a dozen members of the news media. ...

[...]

Under oath, Boswell told the judge she currently has no income and wanted an attorney to represent her.

[...]

Sproles unsuccessfully petitioned Lauderback to reduce her bond from $25,000 to $10,000.

[...]

“Her residence is in question and unstable,” Nelson told the judge, who agreed to leave the bond unchanged.

Interesting investigators mention Joe Clyde Daniels, long missing child, and now are trying to compare cases.

"Investigators are still no closer to finding Boswell's daughter. Those close to the case now compare it with another involving a long missing child -- that of Joe Clyde Daniels.

They say the plight of these two missing children is eerily similar. Yes, of course, there are differences."

I wish this article quoted specifically who compared the cases. It's interesting to compare this particular case....suggesting she watched or knew someone else kill her kid.

Is the Boswell family compound located near Coopers Gem Mind? If so, look at Google Maps. Does anyone know if authorities performed a search of that large forest area along Muddy Creek Road?

A bag containing a hacksaw and blade in recent days near the home of Joe Clyde Daniels is likely not a sub- stantial break in the case, based on statements Monday by Dickson Coun- ty Sheriff’s Office officials. The bag was found in recent days on Jason Chapel Road just off Garner’s Creek Road by private investigator Da- vid Mashburn who has been searching in Dickson County. Sheriff’s office in- vestigators arrived at the scene to gather the bag. However, sheriff’s office Sgt. Trevor Daniel said the bag was actually found by a “law enforcement officer” more than a year ago on the second day of searching for Joe Clyde Daniels when the community actually believed Joe Clyde was still alive. “The officer advised when he found the bag, it appeared to have been in the elements for several months and the tools were rusted beyond use,” Daniel said. “The officer remembers it was day two of the search (April 5, 2018). The officer left the bag where he found it.” Daniel added: “So, at this time it will not be tested.” Joe Clyde Daniels’ disappearance in April last year drew national attention when, after three days of searching, in- vestigators say the boy’s father, Joseph Ray Daniels, confessed to killing his son. Daniels has been charged with first degree murder in the death of his 5- year-old son Joe Clyde. His wife and Joe Clyde’s mother, Krystal Daniels, has been charged with aggravated child neglect. Multiple searches over the last year have so far not yielded any clues on the location of Joe Clyde.

DICKSON – Volunteers are needed Saturday to search for the remains of 5- year-old Joe Clyde Daniels, an effort be- ing led by the Dickson County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s office is asking that vol- unteers be at least 18 years of age. Each volunteer will need to visit the sheriff’s office website dicksoncountysheriff- .com to complete per- sonal information and sign a disclosure form to be approved for the search. The search will hap- pen rain or shine Satur- day with all volunteers at 7 a.m. at Dickson County High School on Highway 70. Each per- son will be assigned to a team and will board a bus for the search area. Each volunteer is asked to commit to search the entire day as buses will not return to the school until the end of the day. The search will continue until there is no daylight, or until Joe Clyde Daniels’ remains are located, according to the sheriff’s office. All potential volunteers must be physically capable of navigating hills, fences, brush, briars, streams, and areas of mud to maximize the search ef- fort. Joe Clyde Daniels case gripped Dickson community Joe Clyde Daniels, who had autism and was nonverbal, went missing April 4, his dad said. Hundreds of citizens and law enforcement searched through fields of brambles and climbed over barbed-wire fences looking for him. On day four, though, his father, Jo- seph Ray Daniels, told investigators he beat the boy to death, put Joe Clyde’s body in the trunk of his car and disposed of the remains in a “remote area,” ac- cording to court documents. Authorities still have not recovered the boy’s re- mains. Both parents were arrested and are in Dickson County jail on $1 million bond. Joseph Ray Daniels, 28, is charged with criminal homicide. Krystal Nicole Dan- iels, 27, has been charged with one count of aggravated child neglect or en- dangerment.

Nashville TN just got hit directly by a tornado just a few hours a go geez

looks like some bad storms for the entire area including where Evelyn was last seen it could hamper efforts to find her

i hope none of our local WS members and Evelyn followers were affected

Thinking of all involved and hope everyone is okay.

Perhaps someone could please indulge a Brit who doesn’t understand the whole bond thing.
I do understand and of course completely agree with the judge’s decision not to decrease the amount. Evelyn’s mother is right where she needs to be. But surely it would be as hard for MB to get her mitts on $10,000 as it would for her to raise $25,000. So what was the point of asking for bond to be lowered?

Best of my knowledge your bail bondsman charges 10% so she would only have to come up with 1,000 if her bond was reduced. She would be charged the full amount if she didn’t show up for court.

Thank you! I had no idea - I’ve always thought they needed to cough up the full amount. Today I learned!

I wish this article quoted specifically who compared the cases. It's interesting to compare this particular case....suggesting she watched or knew someone else kill her kid.

Here are some commonalities between the two cases:
- In TN
- Involve young child (Joe Clyde is a few years older)
- Relatives claim child disappeared
- Bodies have not been recovered
- Closest relatives are suspects
- Closest relatives are pointing fingers
- Closest relatives to child appear uneducated and unemployed/underemployed
- Closest relatives appear to have questionable morals and character

I went to search for Joe Clyde the morning his father was arrested. It was a sad moment for all that gathered to search that morning.

This case has more nuances such as the number of potential suspects, multiple locations, the car transaction, and the SM noise.

Where she moved may help understand why she moved. I am sure I have overlooked, but where did she move?

I could not hear her talking, and I’m really tired of all of her BS, so I didn’t look to see if a reporter disclosed the address she gave to the judge. There was some discussion about it earlier in this thread.

It’s evidently where she was living after being kicked out of the trailer. But the prosecutor commented that she would not be able to go back to the address given after her release.

There have been comments that she has been couch surfing since leaving the trailer.

 

[pepper 34]

100% agree. MB's statements are disingenuous and by no means should she be given any slack. I think everyone agrees that she knows more than she is saying and it is in her best interest to lay it all out on the table.

That said, I too am curious about the "why". Not "why did this happen to EB" but "why is MB continuing down this path". Is she protecting someone else along with herself? If so, who...AB? If AB...why?

Today, when MB was escorted into the courtroom, she immediately looked into the gallery. She did this several times after taking her seat (between diverting her attention back to the judge). What some saw as a killer playing up to TV cameras, I saw as a child looking for the familiar faces of family. Much like a kid hitting their first homerun in little league and looking into the crowd for a parent after tagging homeplate. MB did not find those faces. She looked again and again and found no one. In that moment, she had to know she was alone. If she didn't know it (or didn't want to know it) during her entire disfunctional childhood, surely she knows it now.

Maybe that's the best thing that could happen right now. Maybe it forces her to move toward reality (unless she is otherwise incapable of doing so because of sociopathy). In that moment, any 18 year old with a "normal" functioning brain would realize that no one is going to swoop down and save them. That they have officially entered adulthood, where consequences truly exist. Where playing stupid games means winning stupid prizes.

Did MB realize that today? Did she realize that no one... not EP, HW, TBsr, TBjr or AB, not even her ever supportive Grandmother is going to help her? She is in this alone. For someone who is accustomed to living off of othr people, using manipulation so others will provide for and sustain her existence... I imagine that could be an extreme "big girl panties" moment.

Or...instead of letting it affect her emotionally, she just tucked it away with a lifetime of other hurtful and disappointing moments. If that is the case, I expect she will continue on her current trajectory and we may never know what happened to EB.

Exactly this! I watched that hearing video 3 times, on full screen, to try and figure her out a little bit. She doesn't give much away, imo. I thought I saw her almost cry; just for a moment. As she was looking over the courtroom she blinked a little too rapidly there for a moment... like she was trying to squeeze back and stop the tears... and her expression changed ever so slightly. But, then it seemed she got everything back into control and then was wearing what I thought was a "blank face" through most of the hearing. It seemed she weakened a bit near the end of the hearing again and then, as before, quickly regained her control. I wished I could have heard what was being said at that very moment... but, couldn't hear much. Maybe she's just as hidden emotionally all the time or she "pulls out and wears" the blank face as dictated by circumstances... or maybe it was just her way of not satisfying all the spectators who dislike and hate her and have accused her of harming her baby because they saw through her lies. That's got to hurt.
But, she sure knows how to hide behind a facade, imo, and I think she is like that almost all the time.
I think she's had to do that all her life to survive in her situation and I do feel very sad for the life I think she's lived so far.

But, like others have said; she gets no free pass from me, either on anything she's done (or didn't do but should have.) Evelyn came into this world completely on MB's decision and, once she brought an innocent little soul into this world she doesn't get to destroy it because things weren't running smoothly and the baby may have been in the way or interfering with any "new life adventure" she might have wanted to switch over to. ...And, if a fatal accident occured, it's horrible... but she chose to think she was an adult and do the things adults do but adults also do the responsible thing and tell the authorities what happened. Tell the truth... it's about the child now and not the "adult-parent." It's time to grow up and do the right thing but I don't think she ever will. I don't think she's capable of that.

TN Hiker's words: "Or...instead of letting it affect her emotionally, she just tucked it away with a lifetime of other hurtful and disappointing moments. If that is the case, I expect she will continue on her current trajectory and we may never know what happened to EB."

Exactly, imo.
JMO and speculation.

If she was indeed couch surfing, it could be that EB was not with her on a regular basis (if all) for the past few months.

Both are unable to communicate. I think that’s what I remember about that case. He was special needs. Someone correct me if I’m wrong please!

Hoping this isn't a repeat post:

Sheriff Cassidy: Some family members seem ‘aggravated’ with authorities during Evelyn search

This makes me upset beyond the actions of the family (which obviously is upsetting.)

My response to this headline would be “So?” You don’t need them to be agreeable. You’re the d**m police. Get warrants, bang down doors, file warrants for cell records and gps pings, get out the search dogs and find this baby.

Stop wasting time making worthless statements to the press about the family being aggravated and social media getting in the way and do your job.
